Philadelphia native, Denny Chipollini, overcame over 28 years of opioid addiction 2 years ago through sheer will and the help of CBD.  His story of addiction started with a horrific car accident that took his left leg and left his right with serious long term injuries.  During his total of three and a half months in the hospital, he also suffered bone infections along with Hepatitis C because in the late 80s, hospitals did not check blood before performing transfusions.  His wife, at the time, gave birth to their son, Nicholas, while he was in the hospital.  Throughout his hospital stay, Denny refused to give up and was determined to prove the doctors wrong, who told him he would never walk again.  And prove them wrong he did!  He went on to become a motivational speaker, run 6 marathons, hold the Olympic torch, start a non-profit in his son's honor who was later diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and so much more!  2 years ago Denny decided he had to stop the opioids and researched various rehabilitation options, but came across information about CBD helping through the intense withdrawals.  He says CBD was the answer for him.  He was able to successfully stop the opioids with the help of CBD.  Later when he was able Denny also received his Medicinal Marijuana card and started adding in small amounts of THC to help with the phantom pain, which he describes the feeling as being electrocuted.  Thanks to CBD and THC, he has not had phantom pain in 2 YEARS!  He has gotten better pain relief from these incredible plants than he ever did on over 200 mg of opioids!  His story is so important to this life where, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, "Misuse of prescription opioids and heroin affects more than 2 million Americans and an estimated 15 million people worldwide each year."  Its time for perspective change regarding a plant that can help so many people.

Marlies brings a passion for the CBD industry along with long background in cannabis advocacy and research. She spent years working in business development, recruiting, human capital management and IT. She has been able to offer consulting to her clients in a multifaceted approach. Her interest and experience in natural remedies was driven by a deformity she was born with that was failed by traditional medicine, and led her to the Cannabis world 20 years ago. She began CBD trials in 2014 and knew it was the future of plant medicine....it was only a matter of time.
